Pre-development testing was undertaken at the site of this proposed residential development on the outskirts of Donegal town. An assessment of the site had been undertaken in February 2001. Ten trenches were mechanically excavated. The land is primarily marshy and wet, and the stratigraphy exposed revealed that natural layers were often directly below the sod. There were few finds, two fragments of clay pipe and a number of sherds of 20th-century pottery being the only artefacts recovered. A number of stone-constructed drains were also revealed and are probably related to drainage operations undertaken in the 19th/20th century. The stratigraphy revealed did not indicate any evidence of features/deposits of archaeological significance.
